Our vision is to uphold the right of young people to full and reliable information, which helps them make the choices they face in their lives, and which promotes their autonomy and their active participation in a democratic society.

Eurodesk national partners are formally established as a permanent support structure of the Erasmus+ n Programme of the European Union to provide high quality information and advice concerning Europe to young people and those who work with them.
